Apex Legends Battle Pass Release Date, Leaks & More

Like other free to play battle royale games, Apex Legends plans to release their own version of a battle pass. As a free to play game, the game developer needs a way to make money in which the community deems reasonable. The battle pass is a seasonal level progression system that players can purchase that allows them to unlock in game content such as player skins, weapon skins and more.

Normally, battle passes cost enough to make the developer happy, and make the player happy by rewarding the player for simply playing the game. The battle pass usually contains enough content that if fully completed will be worth it instead of purchasing the contents of battle pass separately. The exact cost of the season 1 battle pass for Apex Legends has yet to be released but players are speculating a normal cost of $10-$20.

Some games also incorporate challenges into the battle pass. By completing (daily / weekly / monthly) challenges players will unlock tiers of the battle pass faster than just playing.
